Default Re: Akwesasne Mohawk Casino

I was there last month when visiting friends in Plattsburgh and Vergennes. it's about a 90 minute drive to Hogansburg after you get off from the ferry.

10 tables, though only 2 were open at the time I was there (I believe late sunday night, July 4th weekend). one table was 3/6 limit with a half kill, meaning that if the pot was bigger than 1BB for every person dealt in the hand, they would go to 5/10 with the last winner posting up front, then go back to 3/6 the next hand. there was also a $1 jackpot drop which was basically paid for directly from the small blind. so figure $4 rake + $1 jackpot taken out of every hand. soft local players who seemed to know each other already.

there was also $3/6 NL going on, but I didn't find out the rake/time schedule. and I'm sure they deal other limits when more people are there. staff was 9/10 on the friendly scale, 6/10 on the competent scale.

free drinks are served, just tip the usual. girls were actually kind of cute there...

good, cheap blackjack games as well. 6 decks, stand on 17, only $10 minimum. you can play either Canadian dollars or USD (house chips are issued in slightly different shades). so-so penetration but probably countable if you tried. video poker, on the other hand, was shite.
